Ghost Lab episode, Dallas Texas

It was two towns in Texas that were investigated by Ghost Labs in the episode I saw yesterday, again, a day late to be able to have some time with my mom.

 One was a restaurant, the Catfish Plantation in Waxahatchie, Tx that had alledged moving silverware and chair rearranging themselves.  The Klinge brothers seemed to find some evidence of that happening with a butter knife on video, but as they themselves said, they couldn't be sure that it hadn't been loosened accidentally by a member of the team.  There also was a spoon that moved off camera, but again they said that wasn't evidence due to the fact it wasn't caught on video.  I did forget the moving sliding door, that was the most interesting, it appears to slide in and out of a slot in the wall, another angle appeared to show no one around, but as all angles weren't visible, I can't count it as paranormal. But interesting none the less. What impressed me was they were at the site three days and only caught that knife moving, no evps or hooded apparitions on infrared cameras, like some other teams. 

While mentioning that, I can't believe they use that Mudd House "apparition" on the Ghost Hunters intro!  They didn't even present it to the site owner in the final review! Also, with the Donna LaCroix interview on GhostDiva's webcast has sure caused a fuss, even though apparently, Donna didn't want it to be taken that way in later communication with various sites.  It even caused a fight on a certain blog where I do have to take the Ghost Diva's side on the matter.  Sadly, that blog's owner even caused potential danger to a former paranormal investigator, despite his good intentions. 

 But back to Ghost Lab, after their three day investigation at the inn, they went to a hotel in Dallas, where the highlight of the investigation, was to ask "Smiley" a ghost supposedly haunting a certain room, permission to enter (I believe 702, will have to check and edit this later, with hotel and inn names as well), before the magnetic key card would work.  This happened several times, don't ask, the key card don't work, ask Smiley if they could come in, the door opens easily with the keycard.  If I remember right, this investigation, besides having that coincidence, which could be said not to be one as it was reported to happen all the time, who knows, yielded only an evp, which wasn't very good.  I do have to say, Ghost Lab does have the disclaimer that their evidence is real before the show, and with finding very little during investigations, not a bunch of things as in other shows, I tend to believe they are trying.  Whether or not they will give in to the "we want ghosties in most investigations, and good ones! mentality, is yet to be seen.  I do have to say that you have to put up with one of the brother's zealousness (a little like Brian on GH) a lot.  It is like Brian Harnois (who I wish the very best, he didn't ask for all this put on him and the alledged hassling by certain people), you either like him or you don't.

 But to Brian Harnois, Donna LaCroix and Andy, I wish you guys the very best, I heard  things weren't going as well as you would have liked at this point, it may or may not be true, but I want you guys to know you were appreciated by your fans, and all I can do is wish you good luck in the future, I know you didn't want to end up part of a controversy, at least that much is true, and I hope the fans hold only good feelings and well wishes for you.
